They used to call them bugs cause they would often have to look for and find bugs in the HUGE computers way back when to fix most issues. It was problem when that fried themselves on circuit baords
Common misconception, but the term "bug" to refer to engineering faults is much older than computers, and has been used by engineers since the 1800s (Thomas Edison used the term) and it may have been even older than that.

no no no, the term bug existed far before this happened, the people who found the first bug in a computer even made a joke about it, calling it an actual bug
I know there are plenty of comments like this already, but I feel this is one of the highest quality fakemon region projects I've ever seen, both in execution and ideas. I come out more knowledgeable in ways I never would have thought possible from these types of videos, which is incredibly impressive. Thank you for everything you do!
This is amazing. the only suggestion is that maybe you could lower the background music so i can hear ur voice clearer!!! this is so cool, you out so much thought into your fakemon its AMAZING im definitely following this series!
i've been watching though ur mon videos and i just gotta say i LOVE tthe cohesive style these guys all have. Theyre *inspired* by pokemon, yes, but they havea unique look all their own that unites the visually. The high contrast and bold shapes, especially. I think you look at them and go "OH, well, of course these are the sorts of monsters that would teach you science! Just look at em!" As a science educator myself (wildlife and conservation) and a former Weird Nerd Child, i am DELIGHTED about the idea of a Mon-like game based around all different branches of science. It's so cool ^w^
I just got here from most of your other videos concerning Pokémon, now that I'm on my trimestrely Pokémon binge, and I must say, they're probably one of the best collection of original collection creatures I've seen! Both conceptually and visually, which are two things that are hard enough to Excell in, individually. Love the motif as well, since my area is Medicine and Im a sucker for animals and, both macro and microscopic lol in that sense, I'd love your take on more living beings, that being bacteria, for example. I think that's a whole set of untapped potencial and a huge source of inspiration. Something like Clostridium Tetani, the bacteria responsable for tetanus, could be a bug/steel or a bug/fighting type, based on the fact that it can harden its own tissues, in the way that the bacteria actually results in disease in humans, by making our muscle cells incapable of relaxing and perpetually contracting. I feel like your talents would be perfectly suited for that. Good luck on this endeavor! I feel like other Pokémon inspired indie games, It'd be fun to know what sort of unique mechanics you'd add to a game with these guys. Hoping something comes to fruition.
When I saw Musmus I inmediately thought of Pinky and the Brain. I would've liked a split-evolution, one more Pinky-like with stats focused around Attack and Speed, and the othe one more Brain-like with stats focused around Special and maybe Defense.
Using Dunkey as a serious example gives me a lot of whiplash, but this is seriously an extremely unique concept, and I hope it continues to grow, just like Musmus!
I just love how bad the voice quality is but how good everything else is. Gives the channel personality. And I love both pokémon and science, I'll be following the progression of the Stema region.
it kinda reminds me of when covid started and a bunch of my professors started teaching online classes for the first time, went out and bought the first walmart mic they could find for lectures. haha
My dude just needs a better mike. I don’t blame him for not having one right away, this is the kind of thing that you really need audience support to justify buying
Posishum is genuinely one of my favorite fakemon designs I've seen in a while. Everything in its concept just fits together so damn well and it's adorable as hell to boot.
I know you already did the model organism idea with the lab mouse mon, but a fruit fly one could be cool. Maybe it can have branching evolutions or an ability relating to Hox gene research and all those creepy mutations
You gained my respect for making Posishum a pure Flying-type You have no idea how sick I am of Normal/Flying route 1 birds, the underabundance of pure Flying-types and the fact that there aren't many with Flying as their primary type either (one of the reasons I very much so admire Rookidee's line and Cramorant)
The problem with this are moves like roost and smack down that remove the flying type from a mon. All flying type mons need another one or it wouldn't work.
I honestly don't like Pure Flying types. Normal/Flying really gets across the fact that they're _just_ birds. Noctowl is just an owl for instance. They really don't have anything interesting going for them aside from being the second Pokémon with an at all interesting type you get in the game. Route 1 birds are basic and boring, and therefore, they are Normal. Swablu should absolutely be pure Flying type though like come onnnnn! It's clouds!
@@kinnaydagral This isn't a mechanical issue, there are already moves like Burn Up that remove a pokemon's type, and there is already a Typeless state in the games code that just has no type matchups(and for previous example, is what happens if Arcanine or Typhlosion use Burn Up)
@@Deadflower019 well if a bird has a mythological connection or is symbolic of anything a Pokémon based on it might not be normal type so it can interact with ghost types.
Oh man... Musmus is definitely one of those early game pokemon that ends up staying on my team until the very end! These designs are all super cute and so much fun
Really happy to here that you're planning on making your own monster tamer. I've been a long time fan of the genre and its many forms from pokemon all the way to SMT. A lot of indie devs that try to make something more in the style of pokemon either limit themselves by keeping it in line with said style or bring no new ideas to the table, ending up with a lot of bland and generic designs. You however have a lot of excellent ideas and don't seem worried about breaking away from traditional designs. I see so much potential here and am excited to see more.
your fakemons have great designs and very interesting design motifs!!! i can really appreciate the amount of thought youve put into your fakemon, as i also agonize over every little detail with my own fakemon
These are actually pretty competitively viable, like sheer force accelift with choice band and brave bird will probably be INSANELY op Edit: this would actually synergize really well with a tailwind and u-turn setup from a Crobat.
Musculmus looks like it would be pretty viable in a theoretical meta due to a combination of decent base stats and useful abilities. The utility of being able to use it as either a Defensive Wall or as a Bulky Physical Attacker can't be understated, especially because it isn't immediately obvious which build they're running. All it needs is a movepool conducive to both playstyles and it would probably be really threatening. Physical Attacker Set: Musculmus @ Life Orb Ability: Huge Power EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def Adamant Nature - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Thunder Punch - Crunch Tank Set: Musculmus @ Leftovers Ability: Fur Coat EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Impish Nature - Bulk Up - Body Press - Body Slam - Rest
This is SUCH a visibly passionate project I am endlessly charmed the more i learn about it and the way you expose your ideas and thought processes! Wonderful job!
Something about this video is so cute lol maybe it's your voice. I love the passion and thought you put into this video and your concept building!!! looking forward to seeing more :)
Hello, mr n0Rtist! I am currently trying to translate your project to my native language Brazillian Portuguese, to present it to my friends! I started watching your STEMA Region and always wanted to present this masterpiece to my friends, but I don't think they would stop doing their things to watch something in another language just because their friend asked to. If it is ok I would like to talk with you about it someday! I understand if you don't let me do this, you are pretty busy with it and just having another person just translating all your hard work wouldn't be very fair. I hope you read this message and answer if you can! I really love your videos.
My high school had one of those massive room-sized computers back when they were relevant and programming was done on hand-punched cards. The room that was one computer was an entire computer lab by the time I went there. Not really relevant, but a neat demonstration of progress. It metamorphosed from the larval punch card computer to a whole hive of PCs.
So for the final, non-pokemon game, which art are you using as the “official” art? The Sugimori style one or the lineless artstyle? If I’m being honest, I prefer the lineless designs, more visually satisfying and kinda helps distinguish from pokemon, I still like both design-styles, so I’m happy either way
You don't know I love science so I honestly, like his videos cuz they're mostly about science😊 I can try to understand how to remove some types dragon type is more for big surfing I can also understand why is removing the bug type again it's worth well bugs😆
"But bugs?! Most people are scared of bugs!" Doesn't mean bugs can't be cute just because people've got phobias, lots of people are scared of dogs and I doubt you'd exclaim that dogs don't fit a cuteness archetype :p
I really like the binary number patterns on Hacktera! Not only do they tie into the overall theming but they also look (to me at least from the design showed) like the intimidating patterns some butterflies/moths have to deter predators. Pumped to see what other designs you’ve come up with and great work!
Toucans are a type of wood pecker so rather than Pokémon being a specific species they are often a specific type of animal or closely related species (skwovet and greedunt both squirrels different species) however in some cases entire evolutionary lines are based on a single species. lockstin’s videos shine a lot of light on what Pokémon are based on and overall Pokémon game design especially with the research he puts into each video.
I can't stress enough how much more I like your designs than just about anything in S/V. I really did not connect with much of the Gen9 Dex. As with any generation there are always at least a hand full of standouts. But the overwhelming majority felt bad to me. Your designs on the other hand? I love them! You have such clear concepts for why they are what they are, for the most part they don't get too in the weeds with over designing details, and they all feel like something I could see being added to a dex. Especially from Gen4 and forward. Great job!
Toucans are predators, they drown their pray which can include parrots believe it or not…meaning that Toucannon can eat a chatot & the scene with Raphael in Rio are a whole lot more awkward & tense.
I've been watching a few Fakémon regions recently, and I'm especially enjoying your designs so far. From one STEM nerd to another, I can't wait to see more!
This is so cool and so true to Pokémon but unique at the same time. I love your art style for this as well it fits your vibe very well. I learn something too which is nice and you’re very smart and the designs have so much meaning so I know this game will be awesome cause I love the passion put in. Can’t wait to see more 💯 (also love the fact that the bird if pure flying. Very different and can be fast and a sweeper)
I really like your concepts and ideas, a bit disappointed that shinies just turn blue but other than that the fakemon look incredible can't wait for next Video
Absolutely love this bug, I wish Pokemon was more willing to make cyber designs. I've had an idea for the longest time of a grass/electric "mushroom" Pokemon who's design and behavior is more about how mycelium can form a network across entire forests, sometimes integrating into trees.
Bro I love this!!! Sure, some of this stuff is actually stuff that I’ve been taught (some of them being stuff I was taught recently before finding ur stuff), but this is actually pretty educational, but not boring educational!! I’d play this if it was a game (and a game I could even access) Also I love the fire starter, and normally I always pick water/grass & never fire
Not only am I more inspired to make fakemon, I’m also learning more stuff about science and whatnot, which is very nice!
right! i was thinking the same thing, i love learning about science :)
Feels like something like you would’ve seen on PBS kids or something like that, and that’s what makes it amazing. XD
They used to call them bugs cause they would often have to look for and find bugs in the HUGE computers way back when to fix most issues. It was problem when that fried themselves on circuit baords
wow

Fake story. The word 'bug' has been used like this well before computers ever existed. It's use in this way is dated to at least the 1870s
no no no, the term bug existed far before this happened, the people who found the first bug in a computer even made a joke about it, calling it an actual bug

The music always makes me want to see your videos as much as the art work. The regional bird part, idk why, just makes me feel happy
This is amazing. the only suggestion is that maybe you could lower the background music so i can hear ur voice clearer!!! this is so cool, you out so much thought into your fakemon its AMAZING im definitely following this series!
Wow, this is a neat way to base some fakemon off of STEM! Definitely subscribing for more
I really love your art style, with the no line work is impressive!
I can’t wait for the next video, your designs are awesome
i've been watching though ur mon videos and i just gotta say i LOVE tthe cohesive style these guys all have.

God all 3 of these are like top tier designs, it's crazy
I love how musculmus has both fur coat and huge power
I just got here from most of your other videos concerning Pokémon, now that I'm on my trimestrely Pokémon binge, and I must say, they're probably one of the best collection of original collection creatures I've seen!

I feel like your talents would be perfectly suited for that.
Good luck on this endeavor! I feel like other Pokémon inspired indie games, It'd be fun to know what sort of unique mechanics you'd add to a game with these guys. Hoping something comes to fruition.
I liked all the fakemons in this video! Love when it's so thought out like this!
i absolutely love your bird line
A lab mouse…
* takes a deep breath *
*PINKY AND THE BRAIN, YES PINKY AND THE BRAIN, ONE IS A GENIUS, THE OTHERS INSAINE-*
Really cool theme for a region! I love the designs and reasonings behind them all and will definitely subscribe!
This is incredible!
This man holds a crap ton of potential, great looking Pokémon and background ; very scientific. Only needs mic quality.
Great designs! I like the STEM theme and how recognisable the fakemon silhouettes look.
compupa is a great name and mon the bird be lookin like talon flame and the rodent is nice
I love all these designs, especially that big hacker~
The Posishum line is super awesome!
One of, if not the best, fakemon region on the internet
Finally the region bug always looks cool
nice art
cant wait for game
Im so happy i saw this cuz i am myself a pokefan and im starting my first year in STEM
If you were my physics teacher I would have not failed.
i need the musmus line to be real so desperately
Thought that said Muslims for a second 😭
4:48 put on headphones. Total eargasm
When I saw Musmus I inmediately thought of Pinky and the Brain. I would've liked a split-evolution, one more Pinky-like with stats focused around Attack and Speed, and the othe one more Brain-like with stats focused around Special and maybe Defense.
Fakemon and interesting knowledge drops? Sign me tf up
You sir are bloody insane being in the second stage for **SIXTEEN** levels is ludicrous pokemon usually has it for freaking **THREE**
Musmus is definitely a more interesting concept than effing Tandemaus xD
thank you man, this truegreen guy always slanders someone when it doesn’t follow the ‚pattern‘
I love the normal type he should evolve into a ghost type though
I LOVE PROFESSOR MOUSE
What’s the music at the start?
I would have preferred an evolution line based on velocity, acceleration, and jerk as opposed to position, velocity, and accelleration.
how the hell did i learn using pokemon this is so cool????
You need to make a game out of this
I wanna see a pokemon that is inertia related.
Using Dunkey as a serious example gives me a lot of whiplash, but this is seriously an extremely unique concept, and I hope it continues to grow, just like Musmus!
Evil team: Team Essential oil
Vector goin on and on and on and on and
I just love how bad the voice quality is but how good everything else is. Gives the channel personality. And I love both pokémon and science, I'll be following the progression of the Stema region.
it kinda reminds me of when covid started and a bunch of my professors started teaching online classes for the first time, went out and bought the first walmart mic they could find for lectures. haha
You'd think the engineering part would kick in and he'd STEM away from the Mic. And what is this music tho'?
My dude just needs a better mike. I don’t blame him for not having one right away, this is the kind of thing that you really need audience support to justify buying
@@imphie oh for sure! i’m don’t blame them for not having one or anything.
I don’t find anything distracting about the audio. Only if I was actively seeking some flaw to point out.

Gosh! so fascinating like always! THE LAB MOUSE IDEA IS SO CLEVER TOO. I adore it. It's really cute

Alan Turning was such a champion. It’s a terrible shame what happened to him.
your fakemons have great designs and very interesting design motifs!!! i can really appreciate the amount of thought youve put into your fakemon, as i also agonize over every little detail with my own fakemon
@The_Official_PokemonGIFT hello u spambot
Compupa is literally one of the cutest designs I've ever seen - awesome concept!!
These are actually pretty competitively viable, like sheer force accelift with choice band and brave bird will probably be INSANELY op
Edit: this would actually synergize really well with a tailwind and u-turn setup from a Crobat.
you are legit inspiring me to make my own videos about my fakemon
This is what we need in Pokémon. It can be appealing to children while still having a mature, interesting vibe to it.
I absolutely adore this region, the designs and themes are so good!
I really like the non-outlined Pokemon art! and the way you present your Fakemon with scientific facts and trivia is very engaging! great video!
I NEED MORE STEMA REGION IS INSANE THIS IS GENUINELY AMAZING
I love the concept and your designs! Cannot wait for the next episode. 😊
Musculmus looks like it would be pretty viable in a theoretical meta due to a combination of decent base stats and useful abilities.

Still a very cool concept ^^
This is SUCH a visibly passionate project I am endlessly charmed the more i learn about it and the way you expose your ideas and thought processes! Wonderful job!
I'll take learning about s.t.e.m with these videos over science class any day.
My favorite is the adorable little lab mouse with the coat and goggles it's so CUTE!
you are making some amazing fakemons
Something about this video is so cute lol maybe it's your voice. I love the passion and thought you put into this video and your concept building!!! looking forward to seeing more :)
This whole series is gonna be great! It’s already so fun and educational. I’m so happy I found this early on
Compupa my beloved !
Also, I'm glad I 'understood' the Commodore reference on Compupa. Cause the French name I gave it was linked to that haha

This was a fascinating video. If I had any critiques, I'd say it's hard to hear you over the music sometimes, but still very enjoyable!
“I have over 100 fakemon concepts” YOOO HYPEST THING EVER SAID

nice
I can't stress enough how much more I like your designs than just about anything in S/V. I really did not connect with much of the Gen9 Dex. As with any generation there are always at least a hand full of standouts. But the overwhelming majority felt bad to me. Your designs on the other hand? I love them! You have such clear concepts for why they are what they are, for the most part they don't get too in the weeds with over designing details, and they all feel like something I could see being added to a dex. Especially from Gen4 and forward. Great job!
Toucans are predators, they drown their pray which can include parrots believe it or not…meaning that Toucannon can eat a chatot & the scene with Raphael in Rio are a whole lot more awkward & tense.
Hold up I know your page on Instagram! Really enjoy your designs, cool to see you talking about them on youtube too
I want to see a STEM based legendary duo
I never knew how much I needed STEM pokemon, this is so amazing I can't describe it
I've been watching a few Fakémon regions recently, and I'm especially enjoying your designs so far. From one STEM nerd to another, I can't wait to see more!
How did you make pokemon-looking fakemon based off of educational things?
The Hacktera line is so amazing and I really want to draw them🥰🤩
regional bugs are epic espcially in recent games just constant bangers like orbeetle the gen 9 bugs they been epic since gen 5
This is so cool and so true to Pokémon but unique at the same time. I love your art style for this as well it fits your vibe very well. I learn something too which is nice and you’re very smart and the designs have so much meaning so I know this game will be awesome cause I love the passion put in. Can’t wait to see more 💯 (also love the fact that the bird if pure flying. Very different and can be fast and a sweeper)
I really like your concepts and ideas, a bit disappointed that shinies just turn blue but other than that the fakemon look incredible can't wait for next Video
Maybe do convergent or divergent forms of pokemon that already showcase STEM, like the Solosis line. Love the series!
Absolutely love this bug, I wish Pokemon was more willing to make cyber designs. I've had an idea for the longest time of a grass/electric "mushroom" Pokemon who's design and behavior is more about how mycelium can form a network across entire forests, sometimes integrating into trees.
How is that mushroom going?
People came here wanting to look at fakemon and left with a degree and it was fun anyways
Bro I love this!!! Sure, some of this stuff is actually stuff that I’ve been taught (some of them being stuff I was taught recently before finding ur stuff), but this is actually pretty educational, but not boring educational!! I’d play this if it was a game (and a game I could even access)
Also I love the fire starter, and normally I always pick water/grass & never fire
I absolutely love your ideas. If you ever do continue there are so many cool concepts that could be adapted!
